We didn't talk about Beyonce's performance and political statement during the halftime show and I just saw something that reminded me of it.
For some reason, people thought the song was about the Black Panthers, and that's not the case. Although, it should be pointed out that the song did contain lyrics where Beyonce said something along the lines of preferring babies with afros...take that for what you will...
Her uniform, and her backups dancers, was the tribute to the Black Panthers.
Can we talk about that? The Black Panthers are NOT a nice organization. They're openly talked about overthrowing the government. This is the equivalent of Taylor Swift wearing a KKK uniform in next year's halftime show.
Is Beyonce that ignorant about the Black Panthers? Is she just flying her racist flag? Or is she trying to appeal to black people, whom I'd be willing to bet are less than half of her fan base...
What was up with Bruno Mars? He looked what would happen if Prince fucked Kid (from Kid and Play) and the offspring dressed up like MC Hammer.
Also, Coldplay was so out of place on that stage. Who did they blow to get that gig?
It was an odd halftime show.
Anyway, the reason this popped back into my head today is because I saw this chick's rant about the subject.
She's clearly a religious right winger, but her criticism is pretty valid, and that closing line is, as Gordon would say, "Oh Snap!"

Have you seen the asshats we have in DC?
QUOTE What was up with Bruno Mars?

Bruno Mars ... hah. He'll forever be known as the "Uptown Funk" dude, even though he was only the guest vocalist.
Coldplay...
As one of my buddies said, "Muse is what Radiohead could be if Thom Yorke would stop his artiste bullshit." In a similar vein, Coldplay is what you get when you take all artistic integrity and creativity away from Radiohead.

I have, but aside from a few Democrats, they aren't talking about getting rid of the whites.
The Black Panthers are a hate group. There's no denying it. Hell, based on their actions they're a terrorist organization.

I think his point is that talking about overthrowing the government isn't necessarily bad in itself. Some might say it's downright patriotic these days.

QUOTE The Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights consider the New Black Panthers to be a hate group.
QUOTE As guardian of the true history of the Black Panther Party, the Dr. Huey P. Newton Foundation, which includes former leading members of the Party, denounces this group's exploitation of the Party's name and history. Failing to find its own legitimacy in the black community, this band would graft the Party's name upon itself, which we condemn. [T]hey denigrate the Party's name by promoting concepts absolutely counter to the revolutionary principles on which the Party was founded. The Black Panthers were never a group of angry young militants full of fury toward the white establishment. The Party operated on love for black people, not hatred of white people.
Damn, when Huey P. Newton's followers say you're exploitative and illegitimate, it's time to hang it up.

Miami Police want you to boycott Beyonce's tour. Here's hoping to record ticket sales.

Apparently this prick belongs in the other cop thread. Â But don't take my word for it.
QUOTE It’s enough of a problem that the city manager is exploring a legal path to try and shut Ortiz down — or up, depending on your perspective.
“He’s like a 7-year-old who has a temper tantrum,” said Ella Moore, president of the Miami Community Police Benevolent Association, the city’s largest black police organization. “This is not helping at all, especially in today’s climate. There are so many other issues he can take a stand on, like all the shootings in the north end. But he’s busy worrying about what Beyoncé is doing?”
I guess because Jesus needs his cross just like Ahab needs his whale.
QUOTE And earlier this month he went after an Hispanic woman who made national news after she chased down a Miami-Dade police officer she claimed was speeding. Oritz thought she was so out of line that he publicized her cell phone and work numbers and urged the public to contact her.
Shit, I might have to go look up her number and PayPal her $10 for a couple beers.

This is a tough one, I don't know with whom to side... the racist hate mongerer beyonce, or the armed civilian summary execution squads...
Well, I'm white so the black chick's hate speech is probably more likely to affect me than the cops. Don't they mainly target black people?
Fuck you, beyonce.

Beyonce doesn't run speed traps, shoot dogs, or treat non-violent criminals like subhuman ATMs on legs that occasionally need caging.
